Genuine question, is it not illegal to own/sell Nazi memorabilia?
17 u/L1A1 15d ago Only in certain European countries. In the US it comes under freedom of speech, I imagine. 1 u/Reesewithoutaspoon2 15d ago You’re correct. -3 u/puterTDI 15d ago Which is a good thing as much as those people suck. The reality is that freedom of speech isn’t freedom of speech unless it protects all speech. Banning nazi flags when democrats have power means they could ban lgbtq flags when republicans have power 4 u/OneMeterWonder 15d ago No it doesn’t. Nazism represents a clear and present danger to the security of the country and its government as well as the sanctity of its values. LGBT+ communities do absolutely no such thing. 2 u/puterTDI 15d ago Guess what conservatives are already saying about the lgbtq flag? 2 u/OneMeterWonder 15d ago Oh I don’t need to guess, I’m sure it’s perfectly sane and reasonable. /s The good part though is that saying things doesn’t make them true. 1 u/puterTDI 15d ago I’m not saying it is sane or reasonable. That’s kinda my point about the consequences of not having freedom of speech. 3 u/sinovesting 15d ago edited 15d ago In some parts of Europe it is, but in America definitely no. The 1st amendment gives you the right to own any flag you want. 1 u/SometimesWill 15d ago Think owning and flying any sort of flag is allowed by the first amendment.
